Man Smuggles Cobra On Plane, Causes Emergency Landing

                                                            
90 passengers aboard an Egypt Air flight from Cairo to Kuwait were shocked earlier in the week when a snake reportedly bit a Jordanian man who smuggled the reptile onboard.
According to an Egypt Air official, the 48-year-old passenger, who owns a reptile shop in Kuwait, decided to hide the Egyptian cobra in a carry-on bag. Things went awry when the passenger tried to control the snake after it bit his hand and started slithering under the seats.
The incident forced the pilot to make an emergency landing in the Egyptian resort town of Al Ghardaqa on the Red Sea, according to The Jordan Times.
The Egyptian daily al-Masry al-Youm reported that the man refused medical treatment, claiming his wound was only superficial. The plane resumed its flight to Kuwait after local authorities confiscated the snake.

An Ado Ekiti High Court Tuesday turned down bail application by three accused persons  who allegedly killed  the 70-year old Mrs. Rebecca Adewumi in Omuo Ekiti in May this year

The octogenerian was tortured to  death by some youths in the town for alleged  possession of witch-craft power claimed to have been used to inflict her step son, Ola Adewumi, with a  strange disease.

When the matter came up for hearing yesterday before Justice Oluwatoyin Bodunde,   counsel to the defendants,  Oladele Adedeji had pleaded that the pending bail application be heard.

The  defendants to the suit are: Chief  Dayo Olatunbosun Orojo(1st  defendant), Mrs.  Adesola  Adeyemo (2nd defendant) and  Abey Feranmi (3rd defendant) They are natives of Omuo Ekiti in Ekiti East Local Government Area.

Bystanders help police lift car off mom and baby

A Colorado mother and her baby were saved by quick-thinking police officers who recruited bystanders to help lift a car off the duo after they were struck while crossing the street. 

KDVR reports Kipinga Muanza Kalala was crossing the Aurora street with her three children when they were hit by a car. Kalala and her 2-year-old daughter Angela were pinned under the vehicle.

Sgt. Matt Brukbacher told KDVR he knew when he arrived on the scene he had to act fast to save the mother and daughter's lives.

“I figured if we didn’t get the car off of them immediately there would be some issues with breathing and I don’t know if they would have survived, so I kind of hollered at some of the folks from around and I said, ‘Hey, let’s get this car up,’” he said.

Several bystanders jumped in to help lift the car, including Jeff Simpson and his 16-year-old step-daughters.

“(Brukbacher) counted to three and we just got the car right up off of her,” Simpson told KDVR.

“We lifted that like it was nothing,” Brukbacher told the station. “I mean it went up almost all the way up.”

Both Kalala and her daughter are expected to recover. Kalala was severely injured with head wounds and several broken bones, and Angela suffered burns, severe lacerations and abrasions. The woman’s two other children were not hurt.

The driver of the car is not expected to face any charges, as police say the woman and her children were crossing the street where there was no crosswalk.

Suspected Terrorists Hurl Explosives At Fully Loaded Luxury Bus In Kano

The ancient city of Kano yesterday evening witnessed another bomb attack with an unspecified number of persons and passengers injured.

Although details of the blast are sketchy as at press time but we gathered that the incident occurred after two unidentified young men hurled two improvised explosive devices at a luxury bus that was travelling out of the state.

The blast which occurred around the popular Zaria Roadabout by Aminu Kano Teaching Hospital, Kano area, saw a luxury vehicle that had come off the round about and was on the Express road driving out of the state, being the target of attack.

The suspects escaped thereafter before the security could take over the scene of the attack. The blast subsequently resulted into a traffic gridlock on the Expressway as the officers of the Joint Security Task Force (JTF) in the state cordoned off the road thereby diverting traffic to nearby roads.

Efforts to reach the spokesman of the Joint Security Task Force, Lt. Ikedeche Iweha and the spokesman of the Nigeria Police Force, ASP Magaji Majiya for comments were unsuccessful.

Police Officers Caught On Tape Having Sex On Duty

Two South African cops were busted, while literally busting a nut.

The two were supposed to have been guarding a suspect that they had transported to a hospital for a check up, but opted to check each other out instead.

The two, an on-duty correctional officer and police officer decided to engage in a bonking exercise that lasted for well over 15 minutes.

Nicknamed Big*, the male correctional services, officer from Krugersdorp Prison and Nina*, a female police officer, were caught on video having sex in a hospital waiting room.

With a copy of the video in the hands of newspaper editors, this has become one of the hottest scandals in SA.

Reporting in the Sowetan Live:

The video  shows the officers having sex while in uniform. Big is seen dancing while waiting for Nina to arrive. Once she is in the room, Big grabs her and she responds affectionately. He moves his hands towards her private parts. She is all smiles.

Shortly thereafter Big, with Nina’s help, hastily takes down her tight pants and underpants. The pair then move to a nearby table where the woman, who is sporting a silver wedding ring, leans backwards.

Big swiftly unzips his brown pants before appearing to penetrate her without a condom.

In an even more shocking admission, the male officer allegedly admitted that he had recorded the session himself, to avoid any incidents where the female officer would accuse him of rape. Unwittingly, the video fell into the wrong hands and it was sent around, eventually ending up with the newspapers. The female officer had no idea she was being filmed.

Woman Claims She Was Raped By Man She Met Online

A Tennessee woman accused a lover of rape because she “did not enjoy it,” according to Newschannel5.com on Dec. 3. Lynette Lee of Clarksville originally told police she was raped by a man but recently recanted her story.

Lee met a man online and made arrangements to meet him at a hotel. Once at the hotel, her false report stated the man removed her clothes while he ignored her protests. The man was questioned by police, which he claimed they went out on a date and the sexual encounter was consensual.

During a second interview, Lee told officers she wanted to drop the case and admitted it was a lie. She told the officers at that time she lied because she “did not enjoy it and it was bad.”

Accusing a person of rape is a serious matter. This innocent person could have been found guilty and served time in prison unjustly. There are numerous rapes of both men and women and to make a mockery of the justice system belittles the victims and their families.

She was charged with filing a false report. A bond was set at $2,000.

“I can’t stop using cocaine… pastors dem dey high too” – Majek Fashek

Majek Fashek, the Rainmaker wowed his fans with ‘conscious’ songs in the 80s and the talented musician was touted by many to be the next Bob Marley in the Raggae music genre but that is turning out to be pipe-dream as he is now a shadow of his bubbly old self.

Rumours are rife that Fashek is a Cocaine addict and if this utterances attributed to him are true then we don’t have to look further for the truth.

According to unconfirmed reports, when asked about rumours of his substance addiction, the musician said, “People must talk. But they make you popular; that’s the truth. You cannot fight the press, you cannot fight the media. They are the ones that will tell people what is going on, so I cannot fight the media. They said I’m crazy, I use cocaine. Well I still use cocaine. I dey blow my nose, I dey smoke my igbo.

“As I speak to you, I have cocaine in my pocket and in my house. I still dey use am. I can’t stop. How will you play music with a ‘normal eye’? You can’t be a good musician playing without getting high. Pastors dem dey high too. The truth is that you can’t be on the human level and give the message. The humans are looking up to you, so you must be super- human to live up to their expectations,” he said.

Is it true that one can’t perform without getting high on an addictive substance? Do pastors also engage in substance addiction as Majek Fashek alleged? Let’s have your day on this people.

Man Stabbed To Death Over Chelsea/Man City Match: Suspects Facing Murder Charge

Two suspects identified as Kayode Ogunwa and Oluwa Femi, are currently held at the State Criminal Investigation Department, SCID, Panti, Yaba, Lagos, following the stabbing to death of a hotel attendant, identified as Mr. Otumala Ukama Benson, a 32-year-old native of Benue State, over a misunderstanding during penultimate Sunday English Premiership League, EPL, clash between Chelsea and Manchester City football clubs.

The incident happened at a popular hotel along Isheri- LASU- Igando Road, near Diamond Estate. The two suspects who were promptly arrested and detained in a cell at the Area ‘M’ Police Command, Idimu, are now facing murder charge in connection with the incident.

On the fateful day, the hotel, it was gathered, was filled to capacity and some customers who wanted to buy drinks could not get chairs to sit. As a result, the late Ben asked those watching the match without buying drinks to get up and allow those willing to buy drinks to sit. The suspects who did not buy drinks however refused to vacate their seats and this resulted in an argument between them and the late Ben. The argument later degenerated into a brawl during which one of the suspects ran to the car and brought a knife with which he stabbed Ben in the neck.

Investigations revealed the hotel attendant bled to death from the stab wound before he could be rushed to the Igando General Hospital. His body was later deposited at the Ikeja General Hospital mortuary for autopsy. The “Area M” Command later transferred the case to SCID, Panti, Yaba, for further investigation.

“Ben was carrying out the instruction of the management that anyone who was not buying drinks should not use the Executive bar but could make use of the general bar. So Ben approached a group of guys, who were just occupying the sofa, and asked them to kindly vacate the place as there were many stranded guests outside who were ready to buy drinks,” one of the hotel employees said.

“I learnt that this infuriated one of the guys who went after Ben for daring to ask him get up from his seat. He dealt some blows on Ben and in defense Ben pushed him away and took to his heels sensing that the clash might degenerate into a serious fight. But the guy in anger smashed a glass door with his foot and in the process sustained injury on the leg with blood dripping from the cut.

“A guy from the group seeing blood dripping from his friend’s leg went straight to his Honda car with number plate FKJ 436 AH, and emerged with a sharp knife. I tried to stop him but he threatened to stab me if I did not move away. I could see the determination to kill in his eyes, so I quickly stepped aside thinking Ben was still in hiding but not knowing that he had reappeared.

“Ben was being held by the other members of the group who were asking him how their friend got his leg wound. At that point Ben was backing the guy with the knife and the guy went straight for Ben’s neck, stabbing him so deep that blood started gushing out like tap water.

“Ben screamed immediately, holding his neck and trying vainly to staunch the flow of blood. Failing to stop the bleeding, he ran outside the gate seeking for help. At this stage, the guy who stabbed him, realising the gravity of his crime, started saying he didn’t mean to stab Ben so deep.

“I ran after Ben and soon caught up with him; but he slumped into my hands, saying, ‘I am going to die’. I assured him that he would not die as I was taking him to the hospital. We rushed him to Igando General Hospital where he was pronounced Brought In Dead, BID, that is dead on arrival. The Police were later contacted and the suspects were arrested and detained.

“We have contacted the families of Ben, they are on their way to Lagos to pick the corpse for burial in his home town,” the employee said.

Katt Williams Kicked Out of Hotel, Shows Off Bloody Knuckles and "Busted Up" Knee

Well, at least Katt Williams wasn't arrested again.

But the comedian did confirm to Seattlepi.com that he was kicked out of the Courtyard Marriott near Lake Union on Monday evening, just hours after he was released from jail following his arrest last night for getting into a bar fight.

Williams told the site that it was the fourth hotel he's been kicked out of since arriving in town for a three-night engagement at the Paramount theater. He reportedly had blood on his knuckles and said his knee was "busted up."

Katt Williams briefly detained on gun violation

He did not provide an explanation, however, for why he was booted from the hotel, saying only that the rest of his tour is canceled. The Courtyard Marriott has not yet commented on what went down, either. Police were called to the scene but made no arrests.

Williams was busted—his second arrest in two weeks—last night after, according to police, he got into an argument with fellow patrons at World Sports Grille and ended up brandishing a pool cue and refusing to leave. He then allegedly flicked a cigarette into a family's car window in the parking lot, hitting a woman in the eye, and threw a rock at the car as they drove away.

He was released from King County Jail this morning.

The ‘Wakathon’ contestants…

China’s first ever ‘World AIDS Day Masturbation Contest’ took place on December 1, 2012.

Dubbed ‘Wankathon’, the idea of the contest was to celebrate ‘HIV risk-free sexual freedom’ and was sponsored by sex toy manufacturer Aihuirun.

The ten male participants wore masks and hid their genitals with orange buckets that would later reveal the ‘fruits of their labour’. There was however no full front nudity.

In the contest, everyone was a winner, no matter the position you came (no pun intended).

The current world record holder of the ‘Longest Time Spent Masturbating’ is Sonny Nash. The pornstar ‘pleasured himself’ for as long as 10 hours and 10 minutes in May, 2012.

(PHOTO) Prank Gone Wrong: Magician’s Head Set On Fire By Television Host

U.S. magician Wayne Houchin is recovering in a Dominican Republic hospital after a TV host lit his head on fire with a flammable liquid.

Houchin was a guest on the Dominican Republic’s “Approach  the Stars” TV program Nov. 26 when, he says, host Franklin Barazarte unexpectedly poured flammable cologne on his head.

A video of the incident shows the magician’s head bursting into flames as Barazarte runs his hands over Houchin’s hair. A warrant has been issued for Barazarte’s arrest.

Houchin was rushed to the hospital with first- and second-degree burns to his face and hands. He wrote on Facebook, “This was not a stunt or part of an act. This was a criminal attack.”

In an e-mail to ABC News, he said: “The doctors here are cautiously optimistic that I will heal with no scars on my face.  Each day I look and feel better.  My hand, however, is in a lot of pain and isn’t healing as well as my face.”

Even world-famous magician David Copperfield has come out in support of Houchin. “You try to present yourself as a performer that is creating wonder and amazement and occasionally somebody might misunderstand that and might think that you’re trying to foster belief in something supernatural,” Copperfield told ABC News Sunday night.

Houchin was performing on the show with a group of magicians. After the performances, Houchin says, the host told them he wanted to give them a “blessing.” Without warning, Houchin  said, the host doused him with “Agua de Florida,” a flammable cologne commonly used in Santeria rituals.

The video shows Barazarte and others trying to extinguish the flames for a few seconds as Houchin lay on the floor covering his face. Someone in the video can be heard saying, “His face is burnt.”

It is unclear what ignited the cologne. The incident was not broadcast on Dominican television, according to The Associated Press. The show has not responded to ABC News’ request for comment.

Houchin has gained international success as a magician. He has appeared on Discovery’s “Breaking Magic.” Houchin and his wife earlier this year broke the world magic record for the fastest upside-down, dual strait-jacket escape.
